We had a parade in Nazareth in 1969 for his victory. A 4x8 sheet of plywood that said Mario Andretti winner of Indianapolis 500, stayed up at the Sunoco station on Hwy 248 for years till it rotted:) They named his street Victory Lane. You could see his house across the street from Floyd R. Schafer school.

This is back when the men were men and the sheep were NERVOUS. :-)

Sweet video, these guy's were amazing racer's.

This is how it was intended and always should be. One race, once a year, only the lightest and fastest open wheel cars of the day. They should've left the spec racing series bull crap for NASCAR instead of picking up on it. Though it is nice every now and again, like in baltimore this coming September. Let more than one manufacturer make the engines and chassis. This years 100th anniv. race will be all wrong.

Hey, Bud Lindeman!!

That was wild and it was wonderful, the cars looked great back then.

This was my first 500, only missed two since that date. Mel Kenyon finished fourth, behind Mario, Gurney, and Bobby Unser.

@kubla777 It was a close race: Lloyd Ruby was one of the favorite at one point but who know where he would have finish if is car would... Same think with Wally Dallenbach Sr. Even Mel Kenyon were not so far away from a win but missed something... But, you have to give credit to Mario a bit: how many time he was in the situation of Ruby at indy ;)
I understand that you like Ruby and want to give him credit as well, and you are not wrong about it... He was the endurance king on the GT40 ;)

Excellent video..Thanks!!

Lloyd Ruby should have won that race...Mario was lucky!

Yes, SpeedVision was much better than SPEED Channel.
